Ride Safe. Ride Well.  Be Seen!

2024 WELLINGTON REGION RIDES- Wellington, Porirua and Hutt Valley

Our weekly rides have come a long way.  We now offer bunch rides across Wellington, Porirua and Hutt Valley.  Thanks to all our lead riders for volunteering to lead rides.  Check our facebook page for regular updates about weekly rides and lead riders to contact.

Rides are not a race, our rides include options for beginners/learners new to bunch riding.  If you are an experienced rider, please do not expect to come and try to turn our rides into races.
For all rides:

Bring enough food, drink
Bring loose change for coffee afterwards. 
Lights are essential for winter rides
All rides operate a no drop policy-we re group accordingly
Start together, finish together


CANCELLATIONS Check our facebook page on Friday evening prior to the week end ride or 6:30am on Saturday morning
